Eventually becoming an executive at Warner Bros., Page helped shape the careers of Michael Bublé, Alanis Morissette, Josh Groban and Green Day, among others. He was also the publisher at Billboard and an executive at Pandora.

OK hold the phone, I worked on ‘Shag’ and knew this guy pretty well for a year or so, we all used to go everywhere together and were inseparable for a whole summer in South Carolina, and no way was he 46.

He turned 30 while we were filming the movie, which would make him around 58-59 years old now, at the very least well more than 10 years older than 46.

And if you don’t believe me, ask Phoebe Cates about this because he was several years older than her, which was an ‘issue’ at the time.

Nevertheless, an incredibly nice guy, nicer than most everyday people much less Hollywood, and very, very talented.
